Why do I feel guilty about cancelling our Netflix account and stopping our family members using it?

[chicken_nugget24]

Netflix is too expensive. My boyfriend pays £10.99 a month and now they wanted £4.99 extra for those people who have profiles who don't live in the house.

That's 3 extra profiles, he would have to pay for. That's £14.97 extra on top of our £10.99 subscription. That's £25.96 a month on Netflix!

No I shouldn't feel guilty but I do for some reason. Because they won't pay and I shouldn't feel like this for my boyfriend's family because Netflix are greedy. He already pays for Amazon Prime, YouTube Premium, Spotify and Uber One. That's over £50 a month on subscription services 😠

I shouldn't feel bad about this and I have no idea why the f I do. Because I had to text them saying we had to cancel? Why couldn't he do it? I don't know who I am angry at. My boyfriend or Netflix being greedy?

I don't know why you feel guilty. Other than delivering bad news is neither easy nor fun.

As to your question about feeling angry at your boyfriend or Netflix, the answer is neither. Netflix is a business. They get to choose what to charge for and how much. You don't get to be angry at them for that. And, as for your boyfriend, that's just misplaced anger -- don't go looking for a fight.

Just move on.

Thank you for MHO!

No, you shouldn't feel guilty. They can get their own Netflix if they want it. Are you really getting that much value out of all those subscriptions?

[slatyb]

It's his family? He should have contacted them, not you. He sounds rather immature to me. Do you really want to be with an adult who is afraid of their parents?

[chicken_nugget24]

He's not afraid of them, just he couldn't be bothered. Also Amazon Prime and Spotify are useful

[slatyb]

Doesn't matter, it's his family, his problem. Not yours.

In the first if it was me. I would have never gotten it.

Why pay for it, when you can get it for free.

One way is to illegal download movies, music, books, or whatever.

In the early days we used Napster, Limewire, Frostwire, and countless other programs.

Another way is to teach yourself how to read source code and just pick the movie or music out of the code file.

Then you have bit torrents

And there is countless ways to get free shit without paying for it.

Stop paying for it

Aren't all those movies all available no matter what streaming service you have? Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, etc. Don't they all have movies?

[chicken_nugget24]

We don't have Hulu in the UK and yeah I guess you are right

[ImalwaysrightOK]

I don't have anything because I would never watch, but I never understood how in this era of the www and everything streaming how they could know or care where you are watching from as long as you pay?

[chicken_nugget24]

You are right

[Astarlessnightsky]

The extra 4,99 is still cheaper than a new basic account. Its still shitty move by netflix, espacially when they first advertised it with slogans like "love is sharing a password"

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I don't know why you should feel guilty. I cancelled my Netflix because it is a money making scheme that was costing me a lot of money on my Xfinity cable bill every month?

[call_me_scar]

I'd guess it's because u feel guilty that your taking away something from people

[CuriousMufuxka]

The fuck is there any possibility of you being angry at him? He's paying for the mostly unnecessary shit!

[katiesmuff]

Netflix was never meant to share outside your home with friends or relatives. Simply each household should have their own account.

[chicken_nugget24]

Netflix old slogan was "love is sharing a password" 😂

[LemiaOfThunder]

It understandable reason
